Chapter 2 The time - travel mission wouldn't start for another two days , so I camped out in the office next to the restroom . But Alexander's personal alarm - the one I never took off my waist - started beeping. Broken static came through . " Vi ... Victoria , intruders ... the manor " For the first time in three years , I wasn't by Alexander's side . I raced toward Hartwell's Manor at breakneck speed . When I got there , I immediately activated first - level alert and directed assistants to sneak up to the second floor . One of them saw the blood all over my face and asked quietly . " Victoria , what happened to your neck ? " I shook my head to say I was fine . Just a little car accident on the way here - nothing compared to the injuries I'd gotten during protecting Alexander these three years . As I prepared to crawl upstairs , the dim first floor was suddenly lit up . Linda leaned against the second - floor in a nightgown , holding red wine as she smiled at me . " Alexander , so this is your crippled bodyguard with one eye ? She's actually as capable as they say . " Alexander nuzzled her neck like a hungry wolf . " Mhm ... Ssee how ugly she is ? You feel better now ? " " Linda , I've missed you for three years . Stop messing with me .... " Before shutting the bedroom door , Alexander hurled stacks of cash downstairs . " Ms. Sinclair merely tested your competence ! Take the money and return to your posts ! " His gaze swept past me without pause , and then she shut the door . I stood frozen , stiff and cold . It felt my passion was slowly fading . 0.0 % 07:50 Chapter 2 When we heard the intimate noises from upstairs , my assistants grumbled . " All this fuss just to mess with us ! " 288 ( Vouchers " We live nearby , but Victoria rushed here from the office and she even got in a car accident ! Mr. Alexander didn't even ask if she's alright ! " I said in a low voice . " Cut it out . " I bent down , picked up the bills , and distributed them evenly . Near midnight, I stayed in the butler's room downstairs . An assistant cleaned my wounds , muttering . " Mr. Alexander isn't fair . Victoria's given everything to him all these years without even an explanation . " " Victoria , did you really accept that mission ? " I nodded , opening my mouth to speak- Alexander pushed through the door with a first - aid kit . He frowned and asked : " What mission ? " My assistant stayed silent at my glance , and left quietly . The mattress dipped beside me . Alexander brushed his hand gently over my face , then put a necklace around my neck . " Victoria , does your face still hurt ? " " But tonight's response was minutes late . If anything happened to Linda , you- " I unclasped the necklace and cut him off . " Alexander , you got the wrong necklace . " Behind the dazzling diamond pendant , Linda's name was engraved . Alexander froze . He was awkward as he tried to explain . I pulled a box from under the bed and handed it to him . " Alexander , here- the pottery we made together , greeting cards , paper stars , jewelry you bought me . Do whatever you want with them - destroy them , give them away , doesn't matter . " " Alexander , now that Ms. Sinclair's back ... let's end this . " The breakup hung between us . 42.4 % 07:50 Chapter 2 Alexander's eyes reddened before he pinned me violently to the bed . He was tearing open my shirt roughly . My abilities could have resisted him , but my heart was too exhausted to fight . He still carried Linda's fragrance on him I turned my head away , letting him bury his face against my neck and bite down in frustration . In the thick air , I said flatly : " Alexander , you just had sex with Linda and haven't even showered , have you ? " " Though you and Linda look clean ... " " But ... I find it disgusting ...
